THIS IS THE LATEST THAT I HAVE RECEIVED FROM PAUL AT STS.

Funny how James doesnt reply to me even though i receive an answer from Paul...

Hi James.

The guys down here are just not impressed James, they really are not.

Unfortunately ACPT and StS have had their reputations tarnished over this one.

StS Australia in particular has been hurt as there will be no further repeat business from this group on any product I would suspect.

Please expedite the successful conclusion of this deal.

Thanks,

Paul.

Subject: RE: RE Marc PALMER Drive Shaft - Skyline GB for Australia

Sorry for the late response Paul, i have been dealing with Mono and just finally got back to work this week. I am trying to find out what happend to the ones that were not delieverd yet. I have already started to make new shafts for the ones that did not recieve anything yet. I am pushing these through the shop as fast as i can an i am hoping to have these done and shipped out next week. Marc Palmer driveshaft will be shipped tomorrow as it was sitting down at the balance shop and nobody contacted us to pick it up. We are going down there today to pick it up today and i will have this one shipped out tomorrow.

ACPT Inc.

this just now from Paul

Hi Marc.

This is very frustrating for us all down here. I have had slow service from ACPT before but, NEVER anywhere as bad as this.

The AUD dropping was bad enough, no one had any control over that, but there is absolutely no excuse for this tardiness in service.

All I can to is, in a very embarrassed way, continue to apologise, and keep persisting on your behalf and all the others in this deal.

The problem is, that ACPT make the best CF shafts in the world, they have the best prices, and unfortunately they know it.

I have tried doing business with the other two CF manufacturers, but believe it or not there service is consistently worse, and their prices are much dearer and they do not have the expertise to do custom jobs that many of my customers want.

Fortunately the Company I use for the 1pc Aluminium Shafts, (Powertrain Industries) have terrific products, terrific service and terrific prices.

Regards,

Paul.

Funny how a tailshaft for a group buy which they get hounded for by ME via telephone conversations still got forgotten and left at the balancing shop, never tried to ring up and ask "hi mate where is that shaft we sent you to get balanced, owner wants it!"even when i whinged and whinged about it not being delivered. Lying dogs!

F#@k I feel for you blokes..pretty slack service and I reckon if the rest of us hadnt got our shafts we be screaming we got shafted!! (sorry couldnt resist that one)..

hope it all works out sweet...

on the flip side I should have mine in next week so be interesting to see the difference if any

Good to see that you guys shafts arent that far away..well maybe..

Looks like mine wont go in this week as too bloody busy, just got enough spare time to pick up me new N1 block this arvo and drop it off at HKS for machining. Hopefully shaft goes in next week.

Hows that shaft going?? you guys got it fitted yet and was it all ok??

in the beginning if there was one they'd f**k up i'd have thought it was yours..

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
